Due to a lot of the new information actually being contained throughout a variety of fragments of different Grimoire cards and items instead of any signle card, the conversation does meander through topics a bit - so enjoy a conversation that delves into the philosophy of the Factions, the implications of the political structures of the Consensus, and even a bit of a chat about the underlying nature of the Guardians themselves (which will also be next week's topic!).

Oh - and we have a new website.

Fair warning, this episode is a bit longer than usual, because we actually start off on something of a non-lore note: Goose’s Destiny 2 reveal experience and some amazing details about the well known app, Destiny Item Manager (DIM). Once we get done hyping over the reveal (we know - we’re still excited, okay?!) - we get down to brass tacks and open Pandora’s box: we start talking about the infamous Clovis Bray.

It’s a good chat - but get ready for some deep tangents and debates on the importance of morality (queue Jurassic Park theme - believe me, you’ll understand when you get to the part in the episode).

Our 9th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Justin, and returning special guest co-host Damoel together to explore the Borderlands series. We discuss the general layout of the series' universe, delve into the information in the individual titles, and even chat a bit about the multiple weapons manufacturers that players in the game can purchase weapons of destruction and mayhem from. Also, we touch a bit on the overall tone of the series - especially the depth of the worldbuilding and the refreshing use of humor as a device to drive home some powerful punches concerning some of the more notable NPC's players encounter throughout the series. Tighten up the big-boy pants, because things are gonna get crazy.

The question of who (or, as the group discusses, what) Alpha Lupi is one that is somewhat of a popular subject of discussion in particular areas of the Destiny lore community - and for good reason. The enigma is one that, even after the years of playing and exploring in game, still remains an unknown variable within the game.

The team starts with the events that lead up to the start of the game and then, from there, discuss some of the more well known figures and their connections to one another - with a few opinions thrown in to spice things up, as usual.

As we are trying out a new VOIP system, there are a few minor snags in audio - however, Blue is working behind the scenes to get the hamster wheels spinning in sync and hopes to have most of the issues resolved in the next few episodes for everyone.

There’s a few heated conversations within the episode, but ultimately, it’s decided that, for as much as we know about these two figures…there’s still a ton left to guess (which is probably why, in the same vein as Yor and Ward, they are such a debated topic as far as intentions go).

Episode 22 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to discuss the Cabal and the lore around this militaristic species. From delving into the historical tie-ins to Roman and Spartan military structure and culture to the introduction of the "Paean Trombone", the team goes through the majority of the Grimoire that we have available to us currently and breaks it out as much as possible. However, it wouldn't be right if we didn't have an appearance of some good old fashioned spinfoil or our "Paean Theory of the Week" as it has now been coined.

As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat. Thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Also, be sure to jump over to iTunes to give us a quick review on how we're doing. We are also available on the Destiny Community Hub app, if you use that app or would like to have quick access to a wide range of various informational sources on Destiny!

Episode 20 brings Blue, Justin, Willy (now powered up by Red Bull), and a special guest and friend, WindoftheStars (a.k.a., Mel) together to chat about the lore surrounding one of the three races that we have the ability to experience the world of Destiny through, the Exos. The team dive straight into the Grimoire - pulling in weapons and armor, as well as the elusive Treasure Island book that belongs to one of our favorite Exos, Cayde-6 - and discuss some amazing theories from r/DestinyLore and from the chat.
